[Life Intended] Are you in the zone of chaos?!

Published 11 months ago • 2 min read

Hey Reader,

If you’re in your 30s, 40s, or 50s, chances are you’ve felt it—that sense of change in your body and mood that you can’t quite explain.

Maybe you’ve noticed weight gain, disrupted sleep, or even a feeling that you’re just “not yourself.”

Here’s the good news: you’re not alone, and you’re not crazy.

In this week's episode of Life Intended, I had the absolute privilege of speaking with Kelley Maple, a Family Nurse Practitioner and the Chief Medical Officer of Medical Anti-Aging. Kelley and I discuss the chaos of perimenopause—a phase that affects nearly every woman and yet remains so misunderstood.

We talked about hormone replacement therapy (HRT), lifestyle changes, and nutrition strategies that can truly transform the way women experience midlife. Kelley’s approach is rooted in science, compassion, and lived experience, making this an incredibly empowering conversation for women everywhere.

Do me a favor and share this episode with all of your friends! I promise, they will thank you and it will give you LOTS to talk about!

Personally, I was so inspired by this conversation I have an appointment with Kelley myself TODAY!! I’m diving in, ordering bloodwork, and learning more about how I can optimize my health during this pivotal phase of life.

I’ll share what I learn in an upcoming episode because I want all of us to feel informed and empowered to thrive.

Midlife doesn’t have to be about “powering through.” It can be a time of strength, clarity, and self-discovery.

See you back here next week!

Restore - A luxury 1-day retreat experience by Life Intended with Kelly Berry and Sadie Wackett

Hi Reader, I’m sure you’ve found yourself in a season of overwhelm before. And during that season, I’m guessing someone gave you this enlightening advice: “You just need to set boundaries.” As if there’s a pill you can swallow and suddenly your calendar, inbox, and nervous system feel balanced and protected. That’s never been our experience. Setting boundaries is something that we just don’t find comes that easy to us and to most women we know. A few weeks ago, I was standing in the kitchen...

A woman walking along a beach feeling rested and restored

Hi Reader, When was the last time you gave yourself permission to truly pause? Not just to catch your breath between commitments, but to step away from the constant demands and noise and to actually exhale. Now imagine you had a full day designed for you to pause, breathe, and reset. That’s what Sadie and I had in mind when we created RESTORE, a one-day luxury retreat for women at the beautiful Amrit Ocean Resort on Singer Island, happening Sunday, November 9th. RESTORE is about creating the...

Life Intended host Kelly Berry and Thetasomatics founder Isabella Mainwaring discuss her new book The Power We Hold

Hi Reader, From KellySadie wrote something new yesterday and I absolutely love her framing. Sharing it here because so many of us are in a “something’s changing” season. From SadieThresholds are the moments in life when you feel the ground moving under your feet. You’re not fully where you were, and not quite where you’re going. Maybe you recognize yourself here: You’re leading at work and feel the weight of expectations from every direction. You’re returning after maternity leave or another...
